There's a few things I've been meaning to tell you about.



First off, Fritz von Runte and the rest of the team at Marshall Records are over-reaching once again with a jaw-dropping Bowie/Kubrick themed thing which is so adventurous and exciting that I can't find the words. Over to Fritz:

BOWIE2001 is out next week.

It’s our biggest project so far. Big in size, ambition and quality - modesty aside. It’s a compilation of brand new versions of classic Bowie tracks, in many different flavours - even reggae! It is also a mixpiece, with all these new versions and some other surprises mixed together, non-stop, creating an exquisite atmosphere. And finally, it’s a movie, a re-edited version of Kubrick’s 2001, that inspired those remixes, with the mixpiece synchronised to it.

It’s confusing I know, but you can preview the Mixpiece here.

Castles In Space readers can pre-order of the the whole thing for only 11£. I mean everything, the DVD, the CD (with exclusive bonus tracks) and the Mixpiece (the extended complete version, in high quality).

By buying BOWIE2001, besides getting the hottest limited edition release of the year before everybody else, you also support the websites, the free downloads and the Marshall Records mail list :)

With thanks
Fritz von Runte and the Marshall Records team.

Fritz is responsible for some of the most impressive web remix projects that have emerged over the last few years. Check out the Marshall Records website for more info. I've listened to the Bowie Mixpiece and ordered my copy. The amount of work that has gone into this is phenomenal and it deserves your support.

Another hotbed of activity lies just down the A14 from me in Cambridge. RobJn is an incredibly prolific polymath who includes record label boss, graphic artist, web designer, remixer and musician among his many talents. His output never fails to leave me astounded by the creativity he so effortlessly seems to conjure out of the ether. Rob has music available here which I urge you to check out.



He's so mercurial and prolific though, that the bast thing to do is to visit his website or follow his Twitter feed. You won't regret it.

And now, here's Tom with the weather.
